I have a hope chest in my bedroom...though I didn't get it until long after my marriage. It was given to me by my grandmother, who bought it in 1929 when her son was born. She used it to store baby clothes in. I cherish this wooden chest. I use it as a place to store photographs and special mementos.
My daughter received her very own hope chest this past Christmas. It was a gift from her grandmama who had it built just for my daughter.
It is longer and wider than mine, but built the same.
She uses her hope chest to hold the items she makes, buys, or receives as gifts that will one day be used in her future home. The chest keeps those items in one handy location, protects them from getting dusty, stained, or misplaced, and will be a beautiful piece of furniture in her home.
